In Loving Memory of Edward DeSimone

In Loving Memory of Edward DeSimone

I would like to dedicate this photograph to Edward DeSimone; my neighbor ( and one of many victims I know) who was murdered in the world trade center attacks. He left his two children behind him and his wife. Ed was a truly amazing man, and i can see so much of him in his children.
this is a memorial in his honor.

I grew up and played with Eddie as a child. I lived just around the corner from him. I wrote this about him a while ago. Today being the anniversary seems appropriate to share it.
Edward DeSimone III

We shared moments in the sun
Laughter, wrestling, childhood fun
Never asking how much time we had
Never believing we’d ever be sad
That is what children feel
That pain and tears are not quite real
I found out though that life has pain
Because my childhood friend will not play again
On 9-11 his life came to an end
Taking from this earth my childhood friend
Although as we grew up we did lose touch
Wrestling as children though our joy held much
Just being innocent without care
Now I pray for his family’s despair
He left behind children and a wife
So young to say goodbye to life
I will remember him when I pray
When I reflect at the end of my day
If not understanding the loss of life
Then growing stronger from the strife
To hold his memory close and dear
By growing strong and not showing fear
The flag that flies in terrorism’s way
Remembers every soul lost on 9-11 day

Gloria-9/11/2004"
